fvdi is started from mint.cnf, like described on atariforge.org/ctpci/wiki.

If i set 1280*1024*16@60 instead of 1280*1024*32@60, only two flashing pixels appear,
They are bigger, but flashing the same way.

I must say that i don't like this very much, it's a bit confusing: NVDI+fvdi... what is set
in which sys-file (assign.sys, fvdi.sys) then?

One more: While booting MiNT, i get a warning now "Warning: PMMU already in use!"
What's this?
